## Abstract ## Objective HLA–DRB1 alleles whose third hypervariable region contains a QKRAA/QRRAA/RRRAA motif are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through unknown mechanisms. We previously demonstrated that the QKRAA motif was also expressed on the __Escherichia coli__ 40‐kd heat‐shock pr
Objective. To investigate 1) tumor necrosis Factor (TNF) microsatellite allele frequencies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 2) associations between TNF microsatellites and RA-associated HLA specificities in order to build up extended HLA haplotypes. Methods. Eighty-five Caucasoid patients with RA
